If you’re after the authentic British rum, look no further than Pusser’s on Marina Cay, and dig into a Painkiller in the iconic tin cup.

Park your dink on the dock and sample the signature rum drinks Sly Fox and Dread Fox, and who knows you might even find Foxy Callwood, right, on stage. Make sure to catch the Wooden Boat Regatta if you can.
